LIVING TODAY AND TOMORROW
THOUGHTS ON COURTESY
by Wm. Henry Cash, Jr. 1949
1927 - 2012
----
Two-thirds of those who are discharged
from jobs is because they are unable
to get along with other people.
----
THE DESIRE TO BE POPULAR
springs from fundamental needs
for affection,
recognition,
freedom,
security,
sense of mastery,
sense of belongingness,
and a sense of
being needed and useful.
SOMETIMES
IT IS NECESSARY
to gain the disapproval of some
groups in order
to be recognized by others.
TO HAVE A FRIEND
IS TO BE ONE
If we wish to have the quality of
helpfulness, we must
be willing to go out of our way
to help our friends
when
they are in need.
A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR
ranks very highly in the list
of
desirable
traits of
a FRIEND.
People judge you by what you do and say.
a GENUINE smile !
and a PLEASING facial appearance !
contributes to the impression
we make with people we meet.
OUR VOICE
should be loud enough
for others to hear us easily,
but
not so loud that
everyone else in the neighborhood
hears what we say.
----
We should always be willing to admit
that our opponent is right if
he has proved his point.
THE TACTFUL PERSON
is ALWAYS ON TIME
BECAUSE
HE CONSIDERS
EVERYONE ELSE'S TIME
IS AS VALUABLE
AS HIS OWN.
If facts prove that we are wrong, and that
our opponent is right, we should admit it quickly, and
definitely.
THE SELFISH
PERSON
IS THE THOUGHTLESS
PERSON,
TASTELESS AND INSENSITIVE
to the harm or embaressment
he / she is causing others.
CONCLUSION ON COURTESY
Friendship
needs to be constantly
attended to.
Do not overlook
a friend.
Friendships between
individuals of the opposite sex is
more delicately balanced
than
between those
of the same sex.
It calls for
more
CONSIDERATION
AND
UNDERSTANDING
on both sides.
The man is always presented to the woman, unless
the man happens to be President of the U. S. A.to
whom all owe respect.
Introductions are made ONLY
when they are
natural,
and necessary,
and not "dragged in by the heel"
We should or ought to write
an informal "thank you" letter
after we have returned from a visit
with friends or relatives.
[In today's world, it seems outmoded,
but it still is appreciated.]
FROM HENRY'S DESK:
The Christian people are sometimes the most critical
people, while we should be the most sympathetic.
If we have true love in our hearts for
our fellowman, we will
naturally do nothing
to harm
or hurt
him
in any way
June's Thoughts on Henry's Life and Message:
When Jesus told us that
"Therefore all things whatsoever you would
that men should do to you, do ye
even so to them;
for this is the
law and the prophets."
Matt 7.12
How we treat people is
the straight and narrow gate..
James 3.17,18
tells us that HOW WE DO SOMETHING
IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS
WHAT WE DO....
" But the wisdom that is from above is
first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, and easy to be entreated,
full of mercy and good fruits, without
partiality and without hypocrisy,
And the fruit of righteousness
is sown in peace of
those that make peace."

When Rev. Mr. Henry Cash, Jr. married me on May 7, 1960
he exemplified to me what COURTESY was.
He did all that he could for me as a husband and father
to our children. He worked steadfastly not only in
the secular world as a Technician for the U S Forest Service,
but he also worked as a Pastor of many small
rural churches in the Northwestern U S A.
He never treated anyone with less than respect
and always did so with his family as well.
My tribute to Henry is putting his messages on
the Blogger website, so that you may benefit from his example and encouragement.
I have four drawers of HIS SERMONS
so I look forward to putting these on the Internet
that others may discover the Word of God
as their Light and Source and Compass
to the Light of the World,
our Lord Jesus Christ.
John 8.12 I am the light of the world. He
that follows me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
